is it possible to get shiny on Pokemon Fire red just by quick saving and quick loading (using F1 to quick load)? I'm not sure since I heard that in Emerald you need specific shiny frame which happens every once in about 2-3 minutes. Is it the same thing in Fire red or I'm fine just with quick loading by pressing every time F1?

I think it depends how the game code handles RNG. When I played Dragon Quest V I tried to game the T'n'T boards . So i made a save state right right before initiating a board and later, once I got favorably far on the board. Once I was on the board, apparently you cannot manipulate anything because you seed is already set. Given that knowledge, I think it matters what resets your rng seed.

However, everytime when I quickload I'm getting pokemon with different nature, gender and IV (I can see that because oh amount of HP). Also I'm getting same thing on Emerald on which I know that this method won't work. So should I keep quick loading or try resetting?

Loading the same save state over and over again isn't going to do you any good. You'd need to soft reset. While you're at it you could also look at RNG abusing. Just check the subreddit /r/pokemonrng, you'll find many guides there

EDIT: You get different natures and stuff from loading save states because you don't trigger the encounter at exactly the same time (1/60 of a second) everytime
